'Failed to transform" error after migrating to AndroidX

Question

I\'m using Android Studio 3.2 Canary 14 and am trying to migrate an existing project to use AndroidX. It sounds from https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/s

Answer 1

I was able to work around a similar problem by excluding a certain library from being jetified, which can be done by adding to gradle.properties:

android.jetifier.blacklist = ...

Note that this option was added in Android Gradle plugin 3.3.0-rc01 as a temporary workaround. See https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/119135578#comment5 for more details.
